It seemed like a good idea at the time...
I just got off the phone with my mother. A veritable fountain of embarrassing stories from my youth. She told me of a time that myolder brother Josh and I were engaged in a furious contest with the boys from across the street. (These were the boys who always got into trouble doing things like sneaking into the church late at night to swim in the baptistry.) Apparently the cobblestone foundation of the church, with its strong absorbancy powers, was just right for this particular contest. So when my Dad, the minister, came out to check on us, we were seeing who could pee the highest by peeing on the wall of the church. I hope I won.
